Another VTS 250 D build

Well I did a leak test on the reg and it failed horribly. The left gauge has a leak. I tried removing it and using teflon tape but to no avail. Guess I will take to shop on Monday and see if they can fix it.

Replacement Victor gauges are easily aquired and are only about $20-30, iirc, in brass. Victor uses USG guages. I order my replacements from http://www.jandrweldingsupply.com/st.../SpecMenu.html

Tell them which model number you have and what pressure range you need. They'll get you the right part.

Thanks Matt. I was leaking almost like it was coming from the threads. I will definitely need to replace the gauge. I will take it to the shop on Monday and see if they can fix it. If they say they need the part, I'll order it. Hoping they can fix it there at the shop.

Well I went to the shop today and had the problem resolved. Seems that the person who had it before used the wrong diaphragm on the working pressure side. My guy pulled it out and showed me. Replaced it and the reg is working perfectly!
